August 4, 2005. New tape from Ayman Zawahiri released on Al Jazeera this morning
In the tape, played on Al Jazeera TV at approximately 8 am ET this morning, Zawahiri mentions the London bombings, and claims that more are on the way. He claims that the destruction of London will be felt again in London, and will also be felt in the United States.
Some preliminary observations:
1. The black turban worries me. Zawahiri traditionally is shown wearing a white turban.
2. The position of the gunsight is proximate to the body, rather than away from the body. That has in the past been correlated with attacks within 2-15 days after the airing of a tape.
3. In the portion of the tape I have translated so far I have seen NO mention of the death of King Fahd. That indicates to me that the tape was made prior to the announcement of the death of Fahd.
A full translation and analysis is underway.

And Paul not wear shoes on the Abbey Road album cover was a message that he was secretly dead. /sarcasm
How come the black turban for this maggot? Usually he wears white. Is this a fashion statement?
Sadly, he's also supposed to be a clergyman. *spit*
What, that old, saggy, pathetic mohammedan?
That caught Laura's eye too. She is still translating the entire address.
Black is the new white.
Thanks for the link. Some of the other articles on the site are very interesting.
Bump for later read
Seems to be offical that Bin Laden is dead.
IMO he has been.
But the guess is necessary propaganda in our favor.
I thought the ding-dongs with the black headgear were supposedly direct descendents of Mohammed. Has he suddenly had a change of parentage? Discovered a long-lost relative?
You got that right. Bin Laden wouldn't allow the Egyptian to do this unless he's dead or severely ailing.
I think August 6 is a day often bandied about for an alleged attack on America. It's the 60th anniversary of Hiroshima. However it's a Saturday so mass transit would not be a prime target.
I hope this is wrong or has been thwarted already.
Soon to be direct decedent.
However, with regard to a nuclear attack, I really don't think this would matter. It would be catastrophic no matter when it occurred.
That being said, I do think the recent talk of nuclear attack is BS.
One hopes.
Calpernia, do you know if the black headdress means that the cleric in question is a direct descendant of Mohammed? I believe this is the case - but you'd probably know better than I.
If this is true, how did this guy suddenly get to be a descendant of their long-dead Daddy Mohammed?
